Time 1h15m

Yield 24 small cookies, 2 serving(s)

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
food coloring (optional) or flavoring (optional)

Steps:

  • set oven to 300 degrees and line one or two cookie sheets with pastry or wax paper.
  • first you want to blend together the egg whites, salt, and vanilla very well together over a double boiler (i don't have one but i've found that if you use a medium pot with 1'' of water and a medium mixing bowl, it helps out very much).
  • put it all in a stand- up mixer (like our kitchen-aide) and blend at high.
  • while blending slowly add sugar until stiff peaks occur.
  • after peaks are made, put in a pastry/icing bag (using corner of a freezer bag or a tight funnel made of wax paper works as well) and pipe onto lined cookie sheet
  • bake for 12-15 minutes or until tops are a slight golden shade.
  • serve while warm or put in air tight container (keeps for about a week if they last that long).

Tips:

  • Use a clean and dry bowl and whisk when whipping the egg whites. Any traces of grease or moisture can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as the whites begin to foam. This will help to prevent the whites from over-whipping and becoming dry and brittle.
  • Continue whipping the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the whisk out of the bowl, the peaks of the egg whites should stand straight up and not flop over.
  • Add the sugar to the egg whites gradually, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and making the meringue grainy.
  • Once all of the sugar has been added, continue whipping the meringue for another 2-3 minutes, or until it is thick and glossy. The meringue should be able to hold its shape when you spoon it out of the bowl.
  • Pipe the meringue onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can use a variety of tips to create different shapes, such as stars, swirls, or kisses.
  • Bake the meringues in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp. The meringues should be able to be easily lifted off the parchment paper without breaking.

Conclusion:

Meringue cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create light, airy, and flavorful cookies that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a sweet treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee or a festive dessert to serve at a party, meringue cookies are sure to please.
